Today, let's delve into a term that might be new to you but holds the key to unlocking your child's fullest health potential: Subluxation. 🔑 🌱 What is Subluxation? 🌱 Subluxation is a trifecta of challenges that can affect your child's well-being: 1️⃣ Misalignment 2️⃣ Fixation (Limited Movement) 3️⃣ Neurological Interference and Imbalance (Dysautonomia) When these elements are present, they can ripple through your child's life, affecting sleep, digestion, immune function, and even their emotional and behavioral health. 🌪️ 🌟 The Power of Balance 🌟 Imagine your child's nervous system as a delicate symphony. 🎶 When one instrument is out of tune, the entire performance suffers. Addressing subluxation helps to harmonize this intricate system, leading to improvements in motor coordination, gut health, emotional balance, and so much more. 🌈 🔬 How Do We Help? 🔬 As Neurologically-Focused Family Chiropractors, we use cutting-edge INSiGHT Scans to detect subluxation. These scans offer a window into your child's nervous system, guiding us in crafting a personalized care plan. 🌱 If you've been searching for answers and yearning for a more holistic approach to your child's health, we're here with open arms and open hearts. 💖 Click the link 🔗 in our bio to discover how we can guide you and your child on a transformative journey to wellness. 🌼 #SubluxationAwareness #HolisticHealing #PediatricChiropractic #FamilyWellness #EmotionalWellbeing #SleepBetter #GutHealth

To the moms navigating the complex world of seizures, I understand the depth of your journey. It's a path marked by uncertainty, often leading to social isolation as you prioritize your child's health and safety. This can result in a profound sense of loneliness, as social activities and connections become limited. 🚶♀️💔 In the realm of seizures, traditional medicine often focuses solely on the brain. However, the Central Nervous System is much more than just the brain. It includes the brainstem, spinal cord, and sensory nerves, each playing a vital role in our body's functioning. At Vanella Chiropractic, we understand that seizures are not just a brain issue; they're a nervous system issue. 🌐 Many children with seizures have experienced prenatal stress and birth interventions, leading to trauma in the brainstem and autonomic nervous system. This can be a key factor in the onset of seizures. Our approach is to look at the entire nervous system, offering a more comprehensive understanding and care. 🤔 If you're feeling isolated in your journey with your child's seizures, we're here to offer support, understanding, and holistic care. Our goal is to work with you to uncover the root cause and support your child's journey to wellness. We believe in empowering parents with knowledge and compassionate care. 💌 Click the link in our bio to learn more about our approach to seizures.

🌟 Are you feeling stuck, watching your child struggle with tone, coordination, and developmental challenges?🤔 If you've tried everything and still aren't seeing the progress you'd hoped for, this message is for you. Let's dig deeper into the real reasons behind your child's "low tone" challenges. 🕵️♀️ 1️⃣ First off, did you know that low tone doesn't exist without high tone? 🤯 That's right! The nervous system is the maestro that orchestrates muscle tone in the body. Often, kids with low tone in one area have high tone somewhere else—usually in the wrong places like the neck, shoulders, and mid-back. 🎻 2️⃣ What does this look like in real life? Our scans measure muscle energy and organization, revealing high tone in areas around the spine and nervous system. Yet, these same kids are often diagnosed with low tone and motor control issues. 📊 3️⃣ So, how does this imbalance occur? It often starts early—sometimes as early as birth. Stressful or difficult deliveries can set the stage for a cascade of symptoms like colic, reflux, and later on, challenges with crawling, sitting, and walking. It's a "Perfect Storm" of developmental stress that manifests as they grow. 🌩️ Ready for a game-changer? 🌟 Get your child scanned to uncover the root cause. And here's the bonus: When you incorporate Neuro-Tonal Chiropractic into your child's care, you'll see their PT, OT, and SLP results soar! 🚀 #UnlockTheMystery #LowToneChallenges #PediatricChiropractic #NeuroTonalChiropractic #RootCause #GameChanger #PerfectStorm #HopeForParents

Parenting a child with a chronic illness is a journey filled with unique challenges, reshaping the dynamics of our families in profound ways. From emotional strains to financial burdens, every aspect of life feels the impact. But amidst the struggles, there are ways to navigate this path with resilience and grace. Here are some tips to help ease the stresses along the way: Release the guilt: Let go of any guilt surrounding your child's diagnosis. Remember, you're doing the best you can, and that's more than enough. Embrace the 'normal': Keep indulging in the simple joys of childhood—whether it's trips to the park, movie nights, or dining at your favorite restaurant. Normalize what your child can do and celebrate those moments. Stay flexible: Life with a chronic illness can be unpredictable. Be open to adjusting schedules and plans as needed. It's okay to cancel or reschedule activities when necessary. Honesty is key: Don't shy away from discussing the diagnosis and what to expect with your child. Tailor the conversation to their level of understanding, but always be open and honest. Together, let's create a supportive community where families facing similar challenges can find solace and strength. We're in this together. 💕 ✅Disclaimer - This is educational info only and not specific medical advice. #ChronicIllnessAwareness #FamilySupport #Resilience #parentsofkidswithautoimmunedisease #autoimmunediseases #rheumatology #rheumatologist #pediatricrheumatologist #parentsoftiktok #chronicillnesswarrior #spooniethings #spoonielife #spoonietips #tipsforspoonies #spoonietok #chronicillnesstiktok #autoimmunedisease #autoimmunewarrior #autoimmuneliving

Discover Nature's Little Helpers for Kids' #Relaxation and #BetterSleep. Every child faces moments of stress and unease, whether from adjusting to new environments, growth spurts, or just the general rollercoaster of childhood. This can manifest in various ways such as #SleepDisruptions, fussiness, #TummyTroubles, or even teething pain. Thankfully, Mother Nature has gentle remedies tailored for our little ones. ✦ Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): Often called the "calming herb", it's not just for adults. It has a rich history of reducing stress and promoting sleep & tranquility in children too. Current research supports its role in balancing key brain neurotransmitters, which can be helpful in soothing those little overactive minds. ✦ Linden (Tilia spp.): Known for its gentle calming effects, it has historically been used to alleviate symptoms like nervousness in children. Its mild sedative properties make it a fitting natural solution for promoting relaxation in youngsters. ✦ Mallow (Malva spp.): This plant has a soft touch, perfect for little ones. It can alleviate stress by easing tummy troubles and providing relief from the discomfort of teething due to its anti-inflammatory properties. 💡 Considering natural supplements for your child's well-being?

Struggling with Your Child's Health Issues? Trust Your Instincts! 🧡👪 Parents, have you ever been reassured with, "They'll grow out of it," by experts? But deep down, you knew there had to be more to it than that. Your instincts are spot on. 💡 1️⃣ It's common to hear that kids will "outgrow" challenges like colic, constipation, chronic ear infections, sensory struggles, and those heart-wrenching tantrums or meltdowns 😭. However, if your gut feeling tells you otherwise, listen to it. 2️⃣ At Vanella Chiropractic, we delve deep into case histories and neurology to uncover the core reasons behind our patients' struggles. Often, a common thread we find 🔗 is an overstressed sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system. 3️⃣ This neurological issue, known as subluxation, can slow down digestion, weaken immunity, and trigger neuromuscular tension and coordination challenges, potentially leading to developmental delays. 4️⃣ Kids don't just outgrow this neurological tension; in fact, it can pave the way for other neurologically-linked issues down the road. ❌ 5️⃣ Many general doctors merely pass the issue to another provider or specialist without addressing the root cause. 6️⃣ If you suspect this might resonate with your child's situation, don't hesitate. 📆 Schedule a consultation and examination with our office without delay! #ADHD #Anxiety #PediatricChiropractic #HealthStruggles #TrustYourInstincts #NeurologicalRootCause #HolisticHealth #EmpowerParents #FamilyWellness
